3. BBB COMPLICATIONS — Democrats hoping to revive BBB talks are coming to terms with the fact that this may take a while. Last week, the Congressional Progressive Caucus called on the party to pass the bill by the SOTU — a deadline White House press secretary JEN PSAKI and Pelosi both dismissed.

Progressives aren’t alone in trying to up the urgency. This morning, a group of 250 left-leaning business leaders and nonprofit groups will call on the Senate to get moving on BBB, according to a copy of the letter shared with Playbook that will run as an ad in the NYT. But as we reported last week, senior Democrats have no idea what they can get Sen. JOE MANCHIN (D-W.Va.) to agree to and how long it will take. Because of that, Democratic leaders are loath to set another deadline.

Even if BBB talks commence soon, there are complications afoot: Sarah caught up with PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D-Wash.) about BBB on Friday, and while the Progressive Caucus leader did indicate that her members would swallow a smaller version of the bill than they want, she also insisted that Manchin is on board with the framework the party agreed to in October. “I believe that, even from his conversation with me after he went on Fox News [to announce he was a ‘no’], that those are still the things that he supports,” she said.
